To celebrate European Neighbours Day, 26 May, a new photo exhibition entitled Images from Slovenia and Ireland went on display for 10 days at the European Commission Representation in Ireland.
This unique exhibition compares and contrasts Slovenian and Irish landscapes and gives the observer an opportunity to explore similarities despite 2000km of separation.
Five photographers, Audrey Ryan and Michael Larkin from Ireland and Igor Hrvatin, Katarina Škerjanec and Amalija Jelen Mikša from Slovenia, were invited by H.E. Mr Franc Mikša the Ambassador of Slovenia to Ireland, to contribute works that best reflected their national landscape and heritage.
Mr Martin Territt, Director of the European Commission Representation in Ireland, welcomed the exhibition by saying "Images from Slovenia and Ireland" helps connect us with citizens across other EU Member States on European Neighbours Day. The photos on display today show the environmental and architectural similarities that these two small but remarkable countries enjoy and give us all the chance to explore areas of cultural similarity."
The exhibition runs Monday to Friday from 26 May to 5 June, 9am-5pm at European Union House, 18 Dawson Street, Dublin 2 and entrance is free.

F.U.N was born when a friend asked how he can help the United Nations? "What does the UN need most" he asked? Friends are what the UN needs most, was our answer, and it just happens to spell F.U.N.
